“Carla was amazing. She sent so many photos and videos of the dogs having the best time. I started calling it Dog Camp because it looked like I dropped my doodle and golden at the best overnight camp ever. We will definitely use Carla again. She communicated well and clearly loved on my dogs like they were her own.”


“Stella is the best! We’ve had our dogs stay with her and they’ll be back! Very caring, professional setting, and she’s great at sending updates on how they’re doing :)”

“Higgins loved his time with Carolyn. She is amazing and took great care of our boy. from frequent walks, daily updates and lots of pictures she keeps in close contact during the stay. We found a gem!!!”

“June was a fantastic sitter for our two pups while we were away! She was so communicative and sent pictures a few times every day so we could see how happy they were. One of our dogs is deathly afraid of thunderstorms and she comforted him throughout the night. She also took them on several walks, which they absolutely love and brought our pups back home when our flight was delayed and the timing became an issue. I 100% recommend June -she treated our dogs like her own!”

“JoAnne was fantastic! One of my dogs had to see the vet while we were gone. JoAnne took her and administered medication without a second thought! My dogs had a fantastic time and we will definitely use her again!!”

“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”


“Jill is amazing! She is so loving and caring… She truly loves your pet as if it were her own… I will not look further next time I need a dog sitter… She is a keeper for all future dog sitting! She is the best!!”


“Angela is an amazing dog sitter! She’s watched both my dogs and has always taken such great care of them! I trust her and I know my dogs are well taken care of. She’s so sweet and is always sending pictures and giving updates.”

“We needed care for our almost 13 year old quirky dog, Lucy for a week while we traveled to Michigan to be with my mom while she had major surgery/recovery. I found Debbie on Rover and contacted her regarding boarding Lucy while we were gone. On the phone, I immediately felt comfortable with Debbie. We chatted for 15-20 minutes and I told her all of Lucy's "quirks." She invited us over for a meet and greet right away to ensure Lucy (and us) felt comfortable. Our Lucy has been recovering from a leg injury and also has been a VERY picky eater. Therefore we needed someone that would be very patient with her. Debbie and her family were amazing. Debbie and her husband were able to get Lucy to eat regularly and also take her vitamins! This has been a feat for us let me tell you! They even taught me a couple tricks to get Lucy to eat her vitamins! And since Lucy has come home, she has been so much better with her eating and her leg as well! I couldn’t be more happy ? We received updates every single day...and Debbie took so many beautiful photos of Lucy. She really has a talent for photography! I never had to worry for a minute about Lucy. She was spoiled rotten by Debbie and her family. We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Debbie and her family.”

“Megan, provided a safe and comfortable environment for our dog. She was awesome about sending photos regularly and communixating on how she is doing. We recommend her highly.”

“Highly recommend Rusty. On our meet & greet, he carefully introduced Kali to Banjo both outside and then inside to ensure no personality clashes. He asked many questions to ensure he knew Kali and her needs. On our drop off date, she immediately greated Rusty as an old friend. He took great care of Kali, sending messages & videos daily. His house and fenced yard are perfect for dogs. Kalid came home clean (even tho it rained a lot), happy, and tired! He responded quicky to our frequent txt updates on drop off & pickup times, due to traffic issues. Will book again and recommend him for your doggy care.”

“Melody was absolutely amazing with our dog blue! Kept us updated with lots of pictures, took him for walks and car rides, and even got his nails clipped for us!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their animals! Thank you Melody!!! Blue absolutely loved his stay with you!”

“Kim was awesome! She sent us so many pictures and updates throughout our dogs stay I felt so reassured that he was happy and having a good time! We will definitely be using Kim again and I would highly recommend her to anyone with a first time dog stay or even one who’s done lots before!”

“Mark was MORE THAN WONDERFUL!!! I’m usually a worry wart when leaving my cats or dog, but Mark really put my mind at ease. I knew my sweet babies were in good hands. He followed on instructions to a tee, asked questions for clarification, and sent us many, many pictures of our pets. I missed my 3 cats so much, but Mark made leaving them a little easier by taking such thorough care of them. We will not hesitate to book with Mark again in the future.”


“Alexandra was great with both of my cats. She was very caring, she was on time and she spent quality time with them both. I felt she went above and beyond of what I expected from a sitter. When I got home, my cats seemed very happy. The photos she sent me were great! I know my cats loved her!”

“Amanda was amazing! So flexible and considerate. She was wonderful with my cat, provided great updates/pictures, and made me feel so much more comfortable while I was away. Would definitely recommend!!”

“Alex did amazing job at taking care of my pet chinchilla!! She spent time playing with him and made sure my chinchilla’s cage was stock up in fresh hay, food, water and toys. 😊”


“Jessica is an amazing lady! She is dependable and her communication is great. My boys love her. I have such a comfort knowing that she is the one taking care of them while we are away. We will be using her services in the future.”

“Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....”


About: I ❤️cats! I will check in on them, feed them, clean up after them, play with them, cuddle with them, give them medicine, but I can’t take them home anymore or spend the night, unfortunately. I fostered a beautiful black cat named Ping through the covid shutdown and found that fighting allergies 24/7 was too much, but a simple Claritin allows me to still enjoy their company (at their residence) during the day.

About: I have had dogs, cats and pets of all types since childhood. Often referred to as “The chosen one” in my own home because of my relationship with our dog and cat. I am frequently asked to look after our neighbors dogs. Experienced at administering injections and IV fluids as well. I am recently retired and find myself with far more free time. Weekdays are a particularly good time for me to be available to care for animals I have a dog (Bandit) and a cat (Dublin) who are given love and attention to the point of being spoiled rotten. They are fed regularly and responsibly with the highly sought after treat from time to time. Walks are non negotiable for Bandit and both get a heavy dose of play time as well as some quality chill time together.
“I can not find the words to express the gratitude and peace of mind I had while I was out of town, leaving my sweet, affectionate kitty in the care of Angela. Thank you Angela for always being there when you said you would be, and for giving My kitty love and cuddles. I will ? % use Angela’s services in the future…. ??”

“Ali is an amazing pet sitter and she takes such great care of my boys. My kitties are pretty messy and she always makes sure things are cleaned up after them when I get home which is above and beyond! She provides thorough updates and lots of pictures too. I rest easy when I’m traveling knowing my boys are well taken care of when Ali is watching them.”


About: I grew up with many different cats. Most of them rescues and strays that we were able to save. I was fortunate to save my current cat from a hoarder house. She has had many health issues as she grew older. On the other hand, when I visit my mom, I am able to see the cats I grew up with and see them live their lavish lifestyle.
About: I've been watching dogs for family and family friends for 15 years now, before I could drive myself. I've watched many dogs with special raw Diets, and dogs that have needed insulin shots. I have never encountered a scenario I couldn't handle. I'm working full-time, but have great hours, and would spend most of my time with the animals. I'm around and available all weekends. My wife and I spend most of our time home on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own. All of which are really friendly. We often have family member's pets over to visit. I also stay at others homes, as that is normally where animals are most familiar and feel the most safe!

“Carla is the best! My dog has the best time with her & her family. Well cared for. Lots of play time. Carla is very mindful about following our dog's routine. Sends photos & videos throughout the stay with her. It's so comforting to find someone that cares for our dog so much.”

“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”

“Carolyn was great with Bella and Lincoln. She provided pictures and updates throughout the day. It's comforting knowing our pups were in good hands while we went into Chicago. I'm glad they spent the day having fun and going on walks with Carolyn 😊”


“Jill is awesome! So down to earth and just the sweetest lady you’ll meet! Was very accommodating last minute for me so I could make it to my plans and my dogs felt right at home at her house! Would recommend her to anyone!!”

“Megan is friendly, very good with observations and feedback, shares photos and updates throughout the day. Her home is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. Seeing her post on Rover and after our first visit to meet our dogs, it was easy to trust her with our two dogs. They were immediately happy and calm at her home.”

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.
“Jacob is great with our rambunctious girl. She knows exactly what to expect when he shows up and goes straight for the door. He also gives her meds and feeds her for us. She gets so excited to see him.”

About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover and currently have a Golden Retriever/Irish Setter who keeps me active with plenty of walks, playtime, and adventures. Caring for my own high energy dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each dog the attention they deserve. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, fetch, or simply having a companion nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide the same level of care and affection I'd want for my own pet :) I currently work part-time on some weekends in Huntley, IL (Friday–Sunday), but I’m generally very flexible and available during the week! I just ask for a few days’ notice whenever possible so I can make sure I’m able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. 😊 I’d also love to set up a meet & greet with you and your fur baby before our first visit! It’s a great opportunity for us to get acquainted, learn about your pet’s personality and routine, and make sure they feel comfortable with me. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I do have a spacious corner lot with a secure tie-out area for supervised outdoor time, the majority of my services take place in your home where your pet is most comfortable and can maintain their normal routine. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll follow all care instructions closely, ensure your pet has fresh water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best! I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that goes along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't! I'm used to working with an array of dogs, big and small along with those that have special needs, like my own. I will take whatever precautions necessary, and follow all owner guidelines.
“Chloe was very professional and scheduled a meeting prior to taking care of our senior Yorkie. She walked him several times a day for three days. She was on time for every walk and he was well taken care of. Thank you Chloe!!!”

“Brian did an outstanding job taking care of our “family member” Gage. He was able to follow all the directions (believe me they are pretty complicated) we had provided and did not miss a beat. Great communication as well. Will definitely use Brian again.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the household. While my mom was away at work, my sister and I would be in charge of taking care of the animals. When I was younger, my neighbors and boyfriend’s family would intrust in me to take care of their dogs and take them for walks. I have a full-time job Monday-Thursday. I am flexible enough to alternate Fridays and Saturdays every week. Although they are already set in the schedule. Depending on the day I am not working, I am free all day (Friday-Sunday). I can give more details on my work schedule as needed. Depending on the client's house and their rules, I respect the clients guidelines and the requirements they expect. From previous walks/ in home stay/ feedings, I always communicated and client put their trust in me. If there was any concern or question, I respond very quick to ensure they can rely on an answer.

“Rachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)”

“We needed care for our almost 13 year old quirky dog, Lucy for a week while we traveled to Michigan to be with my mom while she had major surgery/recovery. I found Debbie on Rover and contacted her regarding boarding Lucy while we were gone. On the phone, I immediately felt comfortable with Debbie. We chatted for 15-20 minutes and I told her all of Lucy's "quirks." She invited us over for a meet and greet right away to ensure Lucy (and us) felt comfortable. Our Lucy has been recovering from a leg injury and also has been a VERY picky eater. Therefore we needed someone that would be very patient with her. Debbie and her family were amazing. Debbie and her husband were able to get Lucy to eat regularly and also take her vitamins! This has been a feat for us let me tell you! They even taught me a couple tricks to get Lucy to eat her vitamins! And since Lucy has come home, she has been so much better with her eating and her leg as well! I couldn’t be more happy ? We received updates every single day...and Debbie took so many beautiful photos of Lucy. She really has a talent for photography! I never had to worry for a minute about Lucy. She was spoiled rotten by Debbie and her family. We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Debbie and her family.”

He asked many questions to ensure he knew Kali and her needs. On our drop off date, she immediately greated Rusty as an old friend. He took great care of Kali, sending messages & videos daily. His house and fenced yard are perfect for dogs. Kalid came home clean (even tho it rained a lot), happy, and tired! He responded quicky to our frequent txt updates on drop off & pickup times, due to traffic issues. Will book again and recommend him for your doggy care.”

“Melody was absolutely amazing with our dog blue! Kept us updated with lots of pictures, took him for walks and car rides, and even got his nails clipped for us!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their animals! Thank you Melody!!! Blue absolutely loved his stay with you!”

Constant Companionship: I'm retired and home full-time, so your dog is never left alone. Doorstep Shuttles: Free up your travel day! I can handle local pick-up and drop-off. Total Comfort: No rooms or furniture (including my bed!) are off-limits. Safe Play: Large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for sunbathing and zoomies. Friendly Housemates: Shared with my calm, elderly beagle Penelope and Emma the parakeet. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet before your next trip! Being retired means my day completely revolves around your pet's needs. From morning yard zoomies to afternoon sunbathing and evening couch cuddles, your dog joins my calm daily routine and receives 100% of my time, love, and constant supervision. I will treat your dog like a true member of the family. Your pup will enjoy a cage-free stay with open access to all furniture, personalized attention, regular potty breaks in my securely fenced yard, and a cozy spot on my bed every single night.
